Getting the Best Flames for Hu Tao: A Guide to Farming the Crimson Witch of Flames Set
Hu Tao, the fiery Ghost of Tombs, thrives on the power of the Crimson Witch of Flames artifact set. To maximize her damage output, you’ll need to farm this set diligently! Let’s break down the process and some tips to make it a little less painful:
1. Understanding the Set
- The Goal: You’re aiming for a two-piece and four-piece bonus combination:
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Pyro DMG Bonus by 15%.
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15% and increases the Pyro DMG Bonus by 40% for 10 seconds after using an Elemental Skill.
2. The Location: The Domain of Crimson Witch
- The Domain: This fiery domain resides in the Liyue region. You’ll find it on the southwest edge of Mount Hulao, accessible through the teleport waypoint nearby.
- Weekly Reset: Like all Artifact Domains, this one resets every Monday at 4:00 AM Server Time.
- Resin Cost: Each run will cost you 20 Original Resin.
3. Optimizing Your Farming Strategy
-
Focus on the Right Stats: Prioritize the following stats:
- Sands of Eon: HP% (Hu Tao’s strength lies in her HP scaling)
- Goblet of Eonothem: Pyro DMG Bonus
- Circlet of Logos: Critical Rate or Critical DMG (depending on your needs)
- Sub-stats: Critical Rate, Critical DMG, HP%, ATK%, and Pyro DMG Bonus
-
Leverage the "Double Blessing" Feature: After completing one run of the Domain, you can use the "Double Blessing" option to run it again for a chance at another set. This increases your odds of finding useful pieces.
-
Use Condensed Resin: If you’re really eager for good artifacts, consider using Condensed Resin (crafted from 3 Original Resin and 1 Resin). This increases the amount of rewards you get from each Domain run.
4. Beyond the Basic Farming:
- Artifact Grinding: Once you have a decent set, you can start upgrading artifacts with the help of Artifact Strongbox materials. Focus on the pieces with the best potential sub-stats.
- Be Patient: Finding perfect artifacts is a long process. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see amazing pieces immediately. Keep farming, and you’ll eventually build a powerful set for Hu Tao.
5. Tips for Efficiency:
- Team Comp: Consider bringing characters who can help you clear the Domain more easily. For example, a strong Pyro character can help you defeat enemies quickly.
- Elemental Reactions: Use elemental reactions to your advantage. Vaporize and Melt reactions can make enemies go down much faster.
- Focus on the Boss: Prioritize defeating the boss for the best chance of getting a high-quality artifact.
- Don’t Forget to Check Your Inventory: Check your inventory regularly for new artifacts. You might be surprised at what you find!
Finding the perfect Crimson Witch of Flames set for Hu Tao takes time and dedication, but it’s worth the effort. Remember, patience and persistence are key! Happy farming!
